I could see my cats doing this. I have one cat who's harness-trained to pull a cord for Cat5e cable through dropped ceilings. They are trainable and can be persuaded to help in many useful tasks, especially in an IT environment. In fact, Babbage and Tesla, the office cats, recently detected and isolated an out-of-spec mouse in the cubicle farm, deactivated it and brought it to the attention (and shoes,) of our Perl expert, purring loudly. They've also handled several bugs since we brought them in, including a spectacularly annoying moth which Tesla ate half of before depositing the remains in my inbox.

i upped my meds-up yours:Most all cat hate goes back to the hatred of women, hedonists, and nonconformists. Cat haters are Puritans at heart: they're disgusted by anything that lives in peace unearned through misery.

In the words of Heinlein, our status in heaven depends on how we treat cats here on earth.
